Practice Assignment

Read everything before doing anything!

The object of this assignment is to use the text formatting elements in XHTML. Here is the text file which you should copy and paste into your template file, then save as knitting.html.

Here is the text, with line numbers for reference.

 6	Introduction
 7
 8	Knitting is one of several ways to turn thread or yarn into
 9	cloth. Unlike woven fabric, knitted fabric consists entirely
10	of parallel courses of yarn. In practice, knitting is
11	usually begun (or "cast on") by forming a base series of
12	twisted loops of yarn on a knitting needle. A second
13	knitting needle is then used to reach through each loop (or
14	stitch) in succession in order to snag a bight of yarn and
15	pull a length back through the loop. This forms a new stitch
16	at the top of the current wale of stitches (or loops).

18	Types of Stitches
19
20	The two basic stitches are knit (or "plain") and purl (or
21	"wrong"). These two nominal stitches are actually identical,
22	however, being the obverse and reverse of the same stitch.
23	If only knits or only purls are used when working back and
24	forth in rows, the result is called garter stitch.
25
26	Complex Stitches
27
28	Alternating rows of knits and purls result in stockinette or
29	jersey stitch, the stitch most often used in commercial
30	garments such as T-shirts. Different combinations of
31	stitches can be used to form ribbing, cables, or other
32	textures. Complex patterns can be formed by knitting with
33	multiple colours.

Do NOT copy and paste the version with the line numbers! Copy and paste this text file instead!!!!

Here is the formatting that you should add.

• The <title> of this document should be About Knitting
• Line 1 should be a level one heading.
• Lines 6 and 18 should be level two headings.
• Line 26 should be a level three heading.
• The following groups of line form paragraphs:
  • Lines 3 and 4
  • Lines 8 through 16
  • Lines 20 through 24
  • Lines 28 through 33
• All the text in lines three and four should be smaller than normal.
• The word Wikipedia in line three is a citation.
• The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting on line four is sample text; use the <samp> element.
• The word entirely in line nine should be emphasized text.
• The following should be definitions (use the <dfn> element):
  • The words cast on in line 11
  • The word knit in line 20
  • The word purl in line 20
  • The words garter stitch in line 24
  • The word stockinette in line 28
